Description of problem:
System Logs window will not respond to commands when reproducibility steps are
followed. Realize this is fairly normal behaviour in a windowed system and
perhaps not under the control of redhat-logviewer code. However, it could
confuse a user in that the Preferences Window is completely hidden behind the
System Window (and any other windows opened thereafter), which gives the
appearance that System Logs is simply unresponsive.
Discovered this by going to Alerts tab of Preferences, adding a string to flag,
and the clicking back on the System Logs window to see if that had taken with
the intent of going back and adding another flag (sort of using the Preferences
Alert as a realtime editor on the flag display of System Log window). Realize
this may not be the intent, but others may try to do this as well.
Also recommend adding an "Add" button to the Add Alert Word dialog and the
XFree86 Log markers (WW), (EE), (NI), and (??) to the default alert word list.
